Sporting Goods Recall

Pritzker | Ruohonen & Associates, P.A., a nationally-known personal injury law firm, represents people injured by products subject to a sporting-goods recall.  Each year hundreds of people are injured by defective sporting goods, including hunting equipment, climbing gear, recreational vehicles, and water toys.  Injuries can include amputation, brain injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, and burns.  Compensation for an injury associated with a sporting-goods recall can include medical expenses, loss of income, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other damages.

When an injury involves a product subject to a sporting-goods recall, an attorney needs to investigate the facts surrounding the injury to determine if the defect associated with the sporting-goods recall caused the injury.  This requires an experienced product liability lawyer.  It is important to contact a product liability lawyer as soon as possible after an accident to ensure that evidence is preserved.  To contact a product liability lawyer at Pritzker | Ruohonen, please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm’s online consultation form.
